The Plaza de Armas (Main Square) is the oldest of the four main plazas in Old Havana. Originally, the square was the centre for commercial, social, and religious events. Back then the plaza even went by a different name: Plaza de la Iglesia (Church Square).

The plaza was built by the sea in 1519, twenty-seven years after Christopher Colombus discovered the Americas. After the Castillo de La Real Fuerza (Castle of the Royal Force) was built nearby, the plaza was renamed Plaza de Armas. 

The square, once surrounded by buildings of wood and guano, transformed into a square overflowing with city history and landmarks. By 1834, the Plaza de Armas was full of fountains, bences, patches of greenery and vegetation. And, today we can relish in these same decorations and among  the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, the Museo de la Ciudad (City Museum), inside the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (General’s Palace), el Palacio del Segundo Cabo (Segundo Cabo Palace), the Templete (Town Council), el Museo del Automóvil (Automobile Museum) and the Museo de la Navegación (Navigation Museum). Visitors can also shop for lightly used books Monday through Friday.
